I think back to when I had My first 100 Mile Flight. Here is a sad foot note to that Flight. Talk about a slow learner! For it Me took Me 15 Years to Fly just a Hundred Miles. Yes when it came to Flying 100 plus Mile XC Flights. It was not My Predator that limited My bagging 100 Mile Flights. It was My poor Pilotting that caused My Predator to land short, no it was My poor Piloting

So, earlier, well this morning I spoke with John regarding of course, all things pertaining to Flight. So John will be here to work on My Predator. It is so cool to have John as a Flying friend being that I am a devoted to My Altair.Predator. I mean it is coming up on 30 Years since I first bought and First flew My Predator. I just wonder that if now unlike sixteen Years ago when I last Flew My Predator will things have changed? Have the Technollogy of Hang Glider's developed to where when I Fly My 158 Predator from a Mountain Launch along with Friends vho will be Flying their newest Topless Supper Ships. Will It be a (NEW Flying Day). So to speak. Will upon Landing, will I learn that Some Topless Super Ship has had the Flight that was further than My Predator. John Ok, I really am asking You this Question. I have asked You in the past, but after when I Pounded. I asked You if I would still be able to Fly My Predator further than These stop less Supper Ships, when We all launch from the same Mountain on the Same Day? You replied: Oh I don't Know? For for something You are now over 69 Years old, also You got to remember that They have had 29 Years to work on it. I hope that I will be as I feel regarding my Age. Yes I hope that I will Fly like I am a 21 Year Old Predator PILOT.

Years back I drove for a good XC pilot that was flying a 14 year old HP2 during a Sandia XC Classic. He smoked all the newer king posted gliders (actually pilots). He even went farther than many gliders that didn’t have king post.
I had always wondered if a good pilot, flying an older glider, could out do average pilots flying state of the art gliders. The answer is YES!

[Chris McKeon]

Bill You know I truly exceeded what a King posted Glider should be able to do. That My Predator could routinely Fly Further than Pilot Brethrin who all Flew Topless Super Ships. Well the Success that I had was a testimont not to Mybzpiloging but to John's awesome creation, My Predator.

[Chris McKeon]

OK, here are My Brain Dead thoughts regarding Flying. Ok, yes I hope to Fly again. Can't You Guys tell. Currently I am waiting till John comes up My way and works on my Predator. Der it really should have an IRAN. Done to it. I believe that My first Flight in 16 Years willbr when I Fly one of John's Glider's. A W-W Alpha.

[Chris McKeon]

OK, OK, Alright: At this Point and Time I can not say when I will Fly again. But John will be coming up here in a while. We will be going to a Training Hill or the Coast to see about My getting My wings full of Air. John will be bring up an WW Alpha Single surface for Me to Fly. John will also tend

[Chris McKeon]

All I do is think about Flying! Come to think about it. I should not be thinking about Flying. If I was a reasonable Predator Pilot.vwhat I would beb thinking would be to quit Flying My Predator all together. I have come to learn that regarding a Person who has sustained a Head Injury, that a second Brain *mouth is considered Catastrophic. I have news: Sustaining a First Head Injury is Catroscopic!

[Chris McKeon]

So, here I am living here in Modesto. I am looking for a Training Hill here in Modesto.

[Chris McKeon]

It is funny how on the one hand, Flying a HG is an endeavor where a Pilot must do things to help Him have a Successful Flight.

[Chris McKeon]

Yes I do find Myself thinking about Flying. The Word Flying is a Verb. I truly want exercise My Brain as much as I can. I do not want to use improper Grammer such as referring to the word (Flying) as if the word was a Noun. I think about Chick Yeager Who had indeed Flown More than His Fair Share of: (HOT Aircraft) well after His Tandem Flight, Yeager said that Killer comment regarding Flying a Hang Glider: Yeager said; "That's the Flyingest Flying there is. I think about Myself. Possibly My next Flight will be after John get's up here, I might end up Flying John's W -W Alpha 235 of a training Hill, or who knows possibly John and I will head over to Fort Funston where I might do some Ridge Soaring.
